Title: Improvements in or relating to Remote Control Systems for Electrically-driven Vehicles.
IPC: B66C13/40
Filed: 1911-05-01
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 10,551. Elektromotoren-Werke Hermann Gradenwitz. Sept. 22, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 10,550/11.] Electric equipment.-In a vehicle provided with lifting and lowering apparatus, the controller, which is operated from a remute point, consists of two drum sections, one of which completes propelling and hoisting circuits and the other permits current to flow to the motors or to the operating circuit. The arrangement is applied to systems of the type described in the parent Specification and the switches g, c are similar to the switches described therein. The drum sections i<1>, i<11> on the vehicle are connected by a toothed coupling l, and are kept in engagement by a spring z. The section i<11> is directly connected to the core k of the controlling- magnet, which has two windings m, n. When the switch g is closed, current flows through the collector L, winding m, contacts s, t, u, and winding n to ground. The core k operates the drum section i<11> and this operates the section i<1> through the coupling l. As the section i<11> approaches the end of its movement, the finger u passes off the contact plate t, and the current passes from the plate t through the finger w, contact ring y on the drum section i<1>, and the motor in operation at the time to the ground. The fingers s, u are connected by a resistance which completes a maintaining-circuit for the windings m, n, so that the core k is not released if one of the cut-outs 3, 4 operates.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Coin-counting Machines.
Inventor: HUDSON GEORGE REGINALD
IPC: G07D9/04
Filed: 1911-06-29
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 15,215. Hudson, G. R. June 29. Counters for coins.- Relates to apparatus for counting mixed coins, with or without means for arresting the operation after counting a determined value of coins. The coins pass from a hopper 1 under an inclined spreading flap 3 on to a travelling band 2 so as to meet an obliqne guide 4, which passes them on to a flap 5 oscillated by linkage from a cam 7 so as to drop the coins singly into one or other of a pair of pockets 9 alternately. The pockets are carried on a plate 10 oscillated by a lever 18 and cam 19 and connected by webs working in slots in a fixed plate 11 with pushers 13 which thrust alternately a coin from each pocket between a guide-lever 24 and gate-lever 22 on to a shoot. Each gate-lever 22 is fast on a shaft 23, and its movement determines, through an arm 25 and link 26, the position of a stepped plate 30. This determines the backward travel of a spring-urged pawl-bearing arm 35, the pawl on which is thereupon locked by a rotating cam 32 to a counter-actuating pinion 36 and the arm 35 locked to the cam 32 bv a catch 33 and carried round by the cam until the catch is freed by engagement with a projection 34. For stopping the machine near the determined amount to be counted, a one-toothed disk 37 is attached to the counter-pinion 36, and drives a notched disk 39 having a cam 41 for operating a clutch lever 42 so as to disconnect the coinfeeding mechanism. A handle 46 may be provided for throwing out the feed-mechanism at will. An alarm may be fitted for operation by the lever 42 when the required amount is approached.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Safety Locks.
Inventor: ECKSTEIN KARL HEINRICH AUGUST
IPC: E05B59/00
Filed: 1911-07-22
Granted: 1912-07-22
Abstract: 16,873. Eckstein, K. H. A., and Poths, F. J. July 22. Locks, revolving-barrel.-The bolt is operable by means of a disk 4, an arm 7 on which works in a notch 5 in the bolt. The disk is turned by a flat key, projections 19, 20 in the disk aperture within which the key works allowing the key to turn idly therein for a quarter-turn while the mechanism is being set, and then to actuate the disk. The disk is locked when the bolt is shot by one or more series of levers 10, 11 or sliders, gratings 16, 17 in which co-operate with stumps 8, 9 on the disk. The bolt is held in the withdrawn position by a tumbler 40 pivoted thereon and engaging a fixed pin 42, and operated by an extension 11<a> on one of the levers 11. In one form, in which slider mechanism is used, the sliders are provided with gatings to engage a stump on the bolt in addition to those for the disk stumps 8, 9. Keyholes; wards; preventing picking.-The keyhole contains an apertured dished plate 36 and a revoluble disk 24 turned with the key and housed within a sunken part 24<a> of the lock casing. The apertures in these sunken parts 24<a> have projections to form wards for the key. The disk 24 is held against accidental movement by a spring pin. The disk 4 may be in two parts, as shown in Fig. 13, the inner portion 4<a> being secured within the outer one by spring pins 4<b>, which allow the inner part to turn idly should a false key be used and the mechanism not set. Combination door-locks.-In the construction shown in Fig. 23, the lock is provided with a latch bolt 61 which is locked when the lock-bolt is shot, by means of a lever 67 pivoted on the lock-bolt and slotted to engage a pin 69 on the latch. The lever 67 can be actuated by the key to withdraw the latch when the lock-bolt is withdrawn, one of the levers 10 having a rib 10<a> adapted to contact with the end 67<a> of the lever. Locks, attaching; knobs, attaching.-The knob for operating the latch-bolt is held in the follower 46 by means of a lever 57 on the follower arm 62 engaging a notch in the handle spindle. During the initial movement for withdrawing the lock-bolt, the tumbler 50 locking the bolt is raised by a pin 7<a> on the disk arm 7, and carries upwards a lever 52 pivoted thereto. As the lever 52 is raised, the bolt guide-pin 48 engages the cam surface 52<a> thereon and turns the lever 52 so that this contacts with the lever 57 and disengages this from the handle, so that at this stage of the movement, the handle can be removed to allow the lock casing to be taken from the door.

Material is conveyed from a shoot 9 to the chambers 1 by a reciprocating feed slide 8. Adjustment of the stroke of the rams 6 is effected by packing-pieces 18, an adjustable connecting-rod, or by devices for raising and lowering the shaft bearings.

Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 28,405. Sachon, C. Dec. 16, 1910, [Convention date]. Maps, charts, and diagrams.-A device for supporting and rolling- up maps, drawings, plans, diagrams, &c. comprises an actuating- shaft 15 adapted to be rolled up and down in the horizontal position on a vertical stand 3, by a friction wheel 14, or a toothed wheel, working on a rail 13 on the stand, and to transmit its rotation through wheels 19, 20, Fig. 4, to wheels 21, between which the map roller 26, Fig. 1, is engaged. The shaft 15 is supported in springs 16 attached to a rail 17 pivoted to a ring 31, Fig. 4, which slides on the stand 3. The ring 31 is attached to an endless band 8 passing over a pulley 6, or a chain-wheel, at the top of the stand, and tensioned by a suspended weight 5 carrying a pulley 7. The weight of the parts carried by the band 8 is counterbalanced by a weight 9 carrying a rod 10, from the upper end of which the map is suspended. When the pulley 6 is actuated by a handle 34, the shaft 15 as it descends rotates the roller 26 and unrolls the map, while the weight 9 and rod 10 are simultaneously raised. When not in use, the rail 17, carrying the shaft 15 with it, is turned into the vertical position. The wheel 14 may engage the back of the stand, in which case the wheel 20 is dispensed with. When a toothed wheel 14 and notched rail 13 are used, the wheels 21 must be rotated from the shaft 15 by friction, or by belt drives.

Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 22,514. Junkers, H. Oct. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Calorimeters. - In determining the heating value of fuels, the heat of combustion is transmitted to a stationary liquid, such as petroleum, having a constant coefficient of expansion at the temperatures employed, and the expansion of this liquid is then measured. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the combustion products from the fuel burner c ascend the shaft b and pass down a heating-passage d to an exhaust outlet e, and the heat is transmitted to the liquid in the calorimeter a by gills arranged in the passage d and by gills f projecting into the liquid, circulation of which is promoted by a jacket g surrounding the gills f. The expansion of the liquid is observed by means of a glass tube h fitted with a scale. The initial temperature of the liquid is adjusted by means of a coiled tube i, through which a cooling or heating medium is passed. In a modification, the heating- passages consist of tubes, and the expansion of the liquid moves an elastic membrane connected by gearing to a pointer moving over a scale.
